AnneLanders, 1 year agoStunning and a great sketch....why do so many only like this, I've never seen so many likes only...they may not be a magnificent oil spill or AA frog green swirl but look at the beauty in the workmanship which that striking luminous yellow and orange allow your eye to use...shame shame for not appreciating great artistry...lol...sorry but I just adore these...and see these glass type frog plain but seeing this with applied glass..stunning. Thank you Alfredo, you've made my night!
